Proxy exceptions (BigFix scenario)
If the BigFix server uses a proxy for Internet connection to access fixlet sites or prefetch downloads, the License Metric Tool server must be added to an exception list to ensure that the catalog propagation works properly.
In an environment with a proxy, propagation of the catalog might fail because the BigFix server connects to the proxy to download the
catalog file instead of connecting to the License Metric Tool server
directly. To ensure that the problem does not occur, add the following entries to the proxy
exception list in the BigFix server
configuration:
- IP address of the License Metric Tool server
- FQDN host name of the License Metric Tool server
localhost, 127.0.0.1
